@ElectionMapsUK Also a by-election on 17 July in Seaford North (East Sussex), won by Lib Dems (LD 712, Reform 322, Con 75)

@MemoryoftheKT @LegaciesofPast That's absolutely brilliant,Amy. You are doing amazing work to keep the stories of the Kindertransports alive.

"One of the single worst examples of journalism I've ever seen in a British newspaper."

James O'Brien can't believe what he's reading.

[Tim Locke @timlocke73]

@JamesMacCleary The USA and many European countries recognise the events in Armenia in 1915 as a genocide, while the UK does not. The atrocities have all the legal indications of genocide, so is it time for the UK to reconsider? Here's the list of countries: https://t.co/aF7aXJmFcJ

New entry on my blog: how a friendship forged in Germany on the eve of WW1 helped get my mother and uncle 25 years later out of the perils of the Third Reich in 1939, and how Gluck's masterpiece opera became a family symbol of salvation https://t.co/sb7wVW7SmI

@charlieGL @aprildeangelis I was in the chorus - so glad you and your daughter enjoyed it! We loved performing it. Concert performances soon with the same soloists in Saffron Walden, Glasgow and Edinburgh. We had piano & voice recordings for learning chorus parts but no recording with orchestra I'm afraid

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. Would we really want to take that path?

@ClassicalSource @MaeHeydorn @NewSussexOpera Final performance Shoreham's lovely St Mary de Haura church, Saturday 23 November, 7pm.

@TeresaPalomar1 People with shoulder pads to the left, and those with bicycle panniers to the right?

@MichaelTakeMP Goodness me, those plebeians behind Starmer daring to wave OUR union jacks. I bet they're blaring out 'popular' music from the hit parade on their transistor radios as well...

@LibDems I've just realised there's now scope for a lovely long-distance walk, all on land within Lib Dem constituencies - from Beachy Head on the Sussex coast all the way to Hartland Point in north Devon. Well worth the deviation to the lovely Dorset coast.

[Tim Locke @timlocke73]

@LibDems James will be a superb MP! So proud and pleased for Lewes.

[Tim Locke @timlocke73]

@MichaelTakeMP This indeed was his great 'running through a field of wheat' moment. Truly a man to win the hearts of the plebians.

@BettinaSRoss1 The pledge to rejoin the Single Market could well be a masterstroke.

Our MRP suggests the Lib Dems are currently winning in 48 seats - about the same number as they won in 1997, and more than four times more than they secured in 2019

I’ll start with this one.
